His driver pretty much dominated the whole season and went undefeated for a loooong time...but there are new challengers approaching! Especially Tim Foden is getting really close. Thanks to everyone who participated...I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. See you again next year? Drivers: BigRed was updated to version 25.
